"EU countries representing more than 60 per cent of the bloc’s energy sector
have committed to decarbonise their power sectors by 2035.
New analysis by campaign group Beyond Fossil Fuels has found that 10 member
states have committed to eliminating fossil fuels by 2035 or sooner. Four
countries - Austria, Denmark, Lithuania and Luxembourg - have explicitly
committed to replacing coal and gas with renewables.
“It’s encouraging that many European governments share the ambition to usher in
the fossil-free era by making 2035 power sector commitments. Now more need to
follow suit,” says Tara Connolly, campaigner at Beyond Fossil Fuels.
The International Energy Agency recommends 2035 as the point at which European
countries should decarbonise their power sectors to align with the Paris
Agreement’s 1.5C target.
Another three states - Portugal, Sweden and Romania - have similar commitments
but don’t stick to this date. If they were to bring forward their goal for
decarbonising to 2035, Beyond Fossil Fuels says more than 70 per cent of the
EU’s energy generation capacity would be covered by these pledges."
